    Wow...My music. :tongue:

    No way I can pick one.

    Who "Who's Next"
    Van Halen 1
    AC/DC "High Voltage/Highway to Hell/Back in Black"
    Aerosmith "Toys in the Attic"
    Deep Purple "Machine Head"

    And a lot more.
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    Blizzard of Ozz

    It resurrected Ozzy's career and gave us our first glimpse of who could have been THE premier musician of the last several years. In the realm of guitar music, anyway.

    That of course was Randy Rhoads.
    SRS 3.1TL
    Harman Kardon Citation 5.1
    Anthem AVM2

    Awful lot off good ones listed. For best I'll cast my lot with The Who - Who's Next

    But I have to at least throw an Honorable Mention to one of my first and early fav's Alice Cooper's Love It to Death. I was 18 when "I'm Eighteen" hit the airwaves.

    Hard rock, dancing on the edge of metal, I'd have to say 'Expect No Mercy' or 'Hair of the Dog' by Nazareth:wink:
